G ames-X reports from the Rock Garden 
Café, Covent Garden and _ the 
Trocadero in Piccadilly, for the launch of 
virtual reality machines, or Virtuality. 

At the Rock Garden Café, two Nightmare 
units have been installed enabling you to 
move in a maze-like world. Here two players 
try and eliminate the other with a computer- 
simulated image mirroring everything that 
each of the human players do. 

Within the mask, stereo speakers boom 


out digitized music. As you move your head 
up, down, left and right, you can look around 
and move within this incredible 3D world. 

A belt goes around your waist from 
which a joystick is attached. This joystick 
controls a pistol and as you aim the gun, 
you can see the barrel moving on screen. 

At the Rock Garden launch, we spoke to

VIRTUALITY LAUNCH 


the designer of Virtuality, Dr Jonathan 
Waldern: “These ‘Nightmare’ systems are 
inter-changeable so that they can run 
different games as we develop and release 
them. Nightmare is a chase and kill game, 
but we’ve also got four racing machines 
which will run a stock car racing game 
called Total Destruction. We also have a 
Virtuality machine running an aircraft sim.” 
At the Trocadero launch, the metal 
shutter door enclosing the Virtuality unit, 
slid upwards, with much dry ice billowing 
out, flashing lights and a robotics dancer. 


Meanwhile, upstairs in the arcade, the 
Virtuality aircraft simulation was doing a 
roaring trade - even at £2 a throw. Is it 
worth two sovs? 

I asked 14 year-old Andrew Baxter, who 


emerged from the helmet drenched in | 


sweat: “It’s a great experience, you can see 
planes coming right at you from all 
directions - the speed is incredible. When 
you consider that most of the sit-in coin-op 
machines are a pound, two quid doesn’t 
seem much more for the extra realism.” 

Whether Virtuality dominates the arcade 
is in the lap of the punters. The extra 
realism and effect is astounding, but aren’t 
we having to pay for progress! 


Sturmtruppen is based on one of 
Europe’s most famous comic strips. 
Featuring six fun-filled levels, the game 
sees you assuming the role of our hero 
as he attempts to single-handedly thwart 
the enemy onslaught. 


Using all the items at your disposal 
you'll drive Jeeps, ride motorcycles and 
even fly planes as you outsmart the 
army. A beat’em-up/shoot'em-up style 
game, Sturmtruppen will be released by 
Italian software house, Idea in October. 
The game will be available on the C64 
and Amiga. 


f SHOW STOPPER” 

The video game consumer event of the 
year, the European Computer 
Entertainment Show that was to be held 
at Earl’s Court from 5th-8th September 
has been called off. However, the trade 


event will continue — thank goodness for 
that, could do with a booze-up!

BARD'S TALE 


| nterplay’s Bard’s Tale became a hit among serious 
adventures, with half a million of the series sold. But 
because so many adventurers have managed to unfathom 
the long and intricate tale, Electronic Arts is set to release 
a do-it-yourself dungeon construction set. The kit includes 
a ready to play mini adventure, with the message, ‘If you 
think you’re so smart, design the flippin’ thing yourself!’ 

Ail the dungeons, monsters, wizards, heroes and villains 
that made Bard’s Tale such a hit, feature in this package, 
plus a host of new characters. You can choose where to 
put the pits, place the stairwells, teleport squares and anti- 
magic areas and hidden doors. What’s more you can 
actually design your own monsters integrating with DPaint 
so that you can import files. 

Initially, the construction set will be available on the PG 
with ST and Amiga following in early 1992.

Only when you have learned the art

Seigemaster on the ST and Amiga. The 
game sees you attempting to defeat an 
evil lord who long ago won over the 
lands of your people. 

Featuring a 3D isometric view the 
game is similar to a fantasy role-playing 
game. You'll get to battle with goblins,

inal Blow is the power jaw-smashing coin-op conversion from Ta 
Storm. This is heavyweight boxing, arcade style, leaving out none 
of the nose numbing, lip swelling thumps. To mark the forthcoming 
release of Final Blow, Games-X, courtesy of Storm, presents the The Final 
Blow Compo. We invite you to take a smack in the chops from Mike 
Tyson himself. : 

We are offering you the chance to win five, yes five boxing 
kits, which include top quality boxing bags and gloves — as 
used by the professionals. 

Five runners are given the opportunity to build their 4 
muscles and perhaps star alongside Arnie in Terminator 3, 
with a Weider Super Strength Builder! 

To stand a chance of winning all you have to do is answer the 
four questions below and get your entries to us by 10th September, 
1991. Send your entries to The Final Blow Compo, Games-X, Europa 
House, Adlington Park, Macclesfield SK10 4NP.

Aukland Zoo was joyous and fun, that 
was until a psychotic Walrus 
kidnapped him and all his friends, 
planning on having them for tea. Tiki 
escaped and decided it was up to him 
to rescue all his buddies. 

Armed with only a bow and an 
infinite supply of arrows you must 
control Tiki and fight across many 
platforms to the final encounter with 
the Walrus himself on the southern 
island. 


Many of the Walrus’ friends have | 
come out to help him and must be 
killed to progress. At the end of the 
first level you must kill a huge whale 
by jumping inside his mouth and 
blasting from the inside. You get the 
picture? 

After playing this game | feel that 
a better conversion could have been 
achieved. The graphics, while being 
colourful and cartoon-like are blocky 
and slow. 

However, the game is playable and 
somewhat addictive to play. Younger 
players will lap up the challenge but 
the game is nowhere near as good as 
the 16-bit counterparts. 


These can be regained by shooting the 
right man out in the field. 

Graphically the game is colourful 
and fairly nice to look at, sound too is 
of a similar quality. When you actually 
get down to playing the game 
however, something changes. 

Fighting the bad guys can become 
very tedious and this lowers the fun 
factor of the game. Although it isn’t in 
the same class as many conversions it 
is an average offering for the C64.

Sounds like fun? Well, in the 
arcade it most certainly is, while on 
computer it’s very sub-standard. The 
Spectrum version is the best one 
available due to a keyboard control 
option. This makes it closer to the 
arcade version in which you pressed 
a button in order to paddle. 


The main reason the ea game 
isn’t very good is that you control the 
game using a joystick. This tends to 
alienate arcade fans. 

Graphically the game is average 
with a nice use of colour. The music 
has been completely ruined in the 
conversion; gone is the up-beat dude- 
tune! 

Oniy the originality Saves it from 
being completely awful. You'd be 
wiser to spend your money 
elsewhere.

—— 


week from lan Harling. It’s difficult to believe that 
this self-confessed ‘hopeless artist’ was the 
creator of the stunning pictures and sequences in Flag. 
I's even more incredible when you realise that 
every picture and animated sequence in Flag is original, 
and painstakingly drawn pixel by pixel, with not a 
digitizer in sight. “I get a bit tired of telling people that my 
stuff isn’t digitized, but | think it would be big-headed to 
put the fact in the credits.” 


MR RELIABLE 


Over four years lan Harlin, became known as someone 
you could rely on when a graphic artist screwed up ona 
game. “| used to get these calls from publishers asking 
for anything, from intro screens to full, in-game graphics, 
and they always had to be finished by yesterday.” 

Although lan was rarely out of work, he saw this 
period as a deep rut. “If anything, at least working on 
different games, under pressure, | could try a variety of 
approaches and styles. But | started to get sick of being 
a ‘patch-up’ artist, and so | began to turn down more and 
more work to concentrate on original projects.” 

lan teamed up with Isle of Wight-based, teenage 
programmer, Simon Cooke, who had developed an 
unusual amount of knowledge and skill for his tender 
years, and soon realised that they worked well together, 
Their first original project, Lost Patrol, proved to be a 
very trying time for Harling and Cooke. 

They were now even more determined to outdo 
Cinemaware in combining movie quality presentation 
with interaction, action and adventure. 

Flag was the result of much soul-searching by 
Envision. lan: “In Lost Patrol, we were trying to present 
the game with different gameplay styles — we now 
realise that this was a pretty pointless exercise.” 


(0 i can’t draw free hand to save my life.” Quote of the 


_ Harling's dynamic graphics create atmosphere, 
__ Set scenes and tell stories. If you think this is 
__ art for art's sake, think again : ae 


This overlord looks d 
Marvel at the stunnii 


Exercising your omnipotent power within 
Civilization games like Populous really 
swells your head. Se take off that ridiculous 
imperial, ermine trimmed cloak and laurel 
crown, because as Jason Spiller discovers, 
Envision’s Flag, to be published soon by 
Gremlin, will have you mucking in with the 


other mere mortals. 


The first stage in the Flag project was to strip the 
whole game idea down to basics, with the straight- 
forward objective being 
opponent's flag. 

lan explained: “We noticed a similarity with the 


that of capturing your 


as he struggles with pencils and brushes. But in 
computer-art, he has few equals 


14 GAMES-X 22ND-28TH AUGUST 1991 


aaa 


Paintball/Skirmish objective, but in the game, a flag is 
simply a basic symbol, an objective to aim for and 
capture. Our idea is that a player can enter this world, 
settle in immediately and play without having to refer to 
instructions. 

Of one thing we were sure, unlike Lost Patrol, the 
scenario in Flag was going to be the last thing we were 
going to think about.” 


ATMOSPHERIC INTRO 


Harling designed and drew an incredible intro sequence 
to set the scene and atmosphere for the game. In his 
dark and sinister lair Hearn the Great Wizard has 
created a desktop world, a small civilization which he 
controls and within which he can cause mayhem and 
disaster if he so pleases. 

The land is split down the middle by a river with only 
one bridge. The wizard built two villages either side of 
the river and populated it with a society of pharmacists, 
alchemists, builders, soldiers and even robbers. 

Then he decreed that every 20 years the villages 
must fight against each other to the death to gain 
possession of the opponent's flag. The victor would win 
peace for the next two decades whilst the defeated 


ja 


fi 


would be forced to serve the 
wizard in pain and humiliation. 

lan explained the structure of 
the game: “You play one of the 
village leaders in command of a 
potential 50 soldiers or workers, : 
depending on your strategy. You | 
begin with a limited amount of gold 
which obviously represents your 
buying power, and with it you can 
conscript villagers into the army or 
into a building workforce. 


DOSH DEMENTIA 


“If you choose to play defensively, you can 
command your people to build protective walls 
at strategic points. Offensive action would 
obviously mean that you dispatch an army to 
attack the other village.” 

As in most adventures money plays an 
important part and dealings with merchants 
can bring in extra wealth — you can also rob 
enemy traders. With all this wizardry, magic 
obviously occupies a key role in the game. 


War between villages breaks out every 20 years as 
decreed by the Great Wizard. You must prepare = 
adequate defences or be ready to flee ie 


lan: “With the gold, you can buy spells from the 
village alchemist to perform such tasks as strengthening 
your army.” 
Levels are constructed as if a player is 
passing through time, meeting and competing against 
successive leaders. lan continued: “The first 
decision is where to place your flag, 
making it as difficult as possible for the 
enemy to capture. This creates a great 
number possibilities and makes the 
game extremely open-ended.” 
Unlike games such as 
Powermonger, there’s no setting 
sl .. or peripheral building, it's straight 
into the thick of it in Flag. lan 
doesn’t see the point of creating 
unnecessary hurdles in the 
way of an objective. 


MAYHEM AND 
DRAGONS 


The battle is fought on 
the home front. You must 


"Deep in his lair, Hearn, the Great Wizard — 


bearing an uncanny resemblance to his creator - 


- presides over his desktop world 


It is Hearn's decision as to who may 
live in his villages, and he who 

may cause mayhem and disaster to 
the hapless individuals populating 
the twin villages 


defend against the aggressor and then reconstruct 
damaged buildings, or attack your opponent's village, 
armed with battering rams. In between assaults, there 
are saboteurs who infiltrate and cause mayhem, 
dragons which strike fear into the hearts of the people, 
and a terrible plague to decimate your population. 
Obviously there will be enough happening to keep even 
the most power-crazed megalomaniac occupied. 

Both graphically and technically, Flag is incredibly 
advanced. The stunning intro sequence is a cinematic 
treat which leads into a game that is no less impressive 
with a full screen 3D world. This is a triumph of sheer 
hard work over machine limitation. 

lan: “Without Simon’s skill the whole thing would 
have ground to a halt. The 3D takes up the full screen 
and there’s some 18 layers of masking, with the sprites 
being able to move behind and in front of objects such 
as houses. The scroll is multi-directional and there can 
be as many as 25 sprites on screen at one time pushing 
the processor to the limit.” 

Flag is the most impressive looking game I’ve seen 
in production for this autumn. If you're a fan of the type 
of game originally inspired by Populous, you cannot, nay 
must not miss this one.

of your life and all that you stand for... 


Kunitoki has placed his evil 
minions within the temples, thus 
infiltrating the holy priesthood and 
corrupting the forces of good. 

To rid the world of all these rather 
distressing problems you must travel 
through the dimensions, retrieve the 
scrolls and finally, destroy Kunitoki 
once and for all. 


iD 
You begin your mission in the realm 
of earth, Your main objective is to 
find the scroll and escape from the 
dimension through the gateway, 
which is guarded by a large, end- 
of-level, meanie-type person. 

Dashing around each 
dimension you will come 
across numerous mean- 
| looking chappies from 
karate experts to large 
unfriendly people 
wielding enormous, 
blunt instruments. 

As well as this, 
there are also 
multitudinous natural 
B hazards which must be 
overcome by physical 
dexterity and mental prowess. 

To aid you in your 
exploration, you carry with 
you a prayer wheel, an object 
of considerable use, that will 
inform you of any objects 
which may be hidden 
earby. This is especially 
| helpful when you consider 


casts a spell upon your 


ag d 
The evil wizar as you try to 


weak and feeble body 
attack him with a BO 


that you will have to make many of your 
weapons and tools yourself. 

For example, the Nunchukas — the 
funny bits of wood and chain that the 
ninja’s spin around their heads — must 
be built by using two pieces of branch 
and (oddly enough) a length of chain. 

All of these items can be found in 
the first dimension and will 
automatically be fitted together when 
you've collected them. 


As you gain experience by 


defeating the hordes of bad guys, your 
level of Bushido will increase. What on 
earth is Bushido? 

Well, it’s the Ninja equivalent of 


As you begin to explore the first realm 
you are set upon by this ugly guy as he 
attempts to kick your head in 


Karma, the spiritual strength of your 
olack clad warrior. 

As you progress through the levels, 
different meanies will require you to 
nave gained a certain level of Bushido 
defore you are capable of defeating 
them. If you don’t possess enough, 
you've got no chance! 


THE SAME, BUT DIFFERENT 


You may well be curious about how it 
compares to the previous ninja games 
from System 3. 

Well, both the graphics and the 
control methods have been vastly 
mproved. One of the major complaints 
about the original was that the joystick 
controls were a pain in the backside. 

Now, instead of having to 
effectively rotate your character to 
move around the 3D environment, you 
nave much more direct control. 

This is because a lot of emphasis 
nas now been placed upon the 


deat’em-up elements — much more so 
than in previous versions. 


The Last Ninja moves onwards towards 
the Tibetan temples to seek out his 
dreaded enemy — Kunitoki

he final ninja game! The last Last 

Ninja! But is it the definitive 
adventure/beat'em-up? 

Well, graphically this certainly is a 
considerable improvement over its 
predecessors. Check out some of the 
screen shots across these pages - pretty 
neat, eh? 

The sprites and backgrounds are 
both obviously influenced by console 
games and manage to evoke a very 
Oriental feel. 

As you can see the sprites are much 
larger this time round and the detail in 
some of the animations is very nifty. It's 
especially complicated on some of the 
more furturistic meanies in the fater 
levels. 

The larger of the bad guys are also 
very impressive as they proceed to 
mangle and pulverize you into a 
quivering pulp. Some of them just have to 
be seen to be believed! They're all much 
better than in the previous ninja games. 

The sound is also of a very high 
quality. Each of the different levels has its 
own atmospheric sound track which 
drives the game along, gaining in pace as 


~you reach sections of increasing tension. 


Gameplay sees a vast improvement 
over the previous Last Ninja titles. Due to 
the shift of emphasis towards a sort of 
‘thinking man’s beat’em-up’, it is much 
easier to get into. 

The overall effect will doubtless 
combine to create an even greater 
appeal than ever before. 

The sheer number of locations and 
objects which can be found ensure that 
you will return again and again to solve 
the many puzzles that are presented. 

If you're a fan of either arcade 
adventures or ninja style hack ’n’ slash 
games you could do far worse than this!

GENERAL TIPS 
FOR SWINGING 
SPIDERMAN 


Always study each screen thoroughly, 

looking for hidden switches, exits, 
monsters and the type of wall. It may seem 
trivial, but if you want to survive and 
progress, you've got to do it 

Practise your swing. Even if your mode 

of escape is temporarily blocked, you 
can do a lot worse than aim a web randomly 
It will hold you for a short time while you 


make a snap decision as to whether to run | 


for it, aim a web to safety, or stand your 
ground and fight 

Mysterio has set up areas of strange 

gravity which could suck you away 
from your intended target. The only possible 
way to av this is to fire well aimed webs 
at attachable surfaces and grab the limited 
amount of space available 

Facing robots or other bizarre baddies 

often requires good _ strategic 
planning. Stun them with a well placed web 
or, if you're stuck in a tunnel, ensure the 
nasties are at one end while you shelter on a 
secure patch of roof 

Make a map. You'll often find yourself 

transported back to an earlier area 
and the trick is to dash back to your present 
place. However, check all the exits — they 
too may emerge somewhere new...

One of the advantages in Neo- 
Geo are the graphics. A 16-bit 
microprocessor combined with 
games that are _ specifically \ 
designed for the system, rather : 
than being adaptations from A 
home computer games, means « 
the player is getting a choice of quality 
games in one cabinet. So far it has proved 
a winner. 

Something else with Neo-Geo that may 
take off in the future is its memory card 
application which allows the player to save the 
game he or she is playing onto a card, should they have 
to leave. On returning the game may be picked up from

Following on from last week's 
piece on Nintendo's multi-game | 
system Playchoice, here is a 
little insight into its rivals for 
this lucrative segment of the 
video game market. 


[ Wi he two competitors to Nintendo are companies 
also well placed in the manufacture of home 

Ba computer games. Making the biggest impact is | 

Neo-Geo from SNK. This multi-cgame system, now 

about one year old, has stolen a good portion of the 

American and UK markets and is already a 

dominant force in Japan. 

For the UK, Neo-Geo comes in two 
versions, one specifically for the arcade 
market, the other for single sites. The 
arcade cabinet offers one or two 
players a choice from six game titles, 
although the entire SNK library now 
stands at about 20. 

The latest additions to the range, 
Sengoku, King Of The Monsters and 
Ghost Pilot are all chart topping 
software titles in the USA and are 
eagerly awaited in the UK. 

Major hits on the system in the UK 
include Top Players Golf, which has 
Caught onto the boom in golfing video 
games, and more _ surprisingly, 
Baseball Stars. 

Although not a British sport, 
baseball on video has become a 
prominent addition across arcades in 
the UK, and has been one of the most 
popular offerings on Neo-Geo so far. 


the same point. Great in Japan but so far 
not adopted by UK players. 
The other name in multi-system video 
is, surprise surprise, Sega. Its Megatech 
system also uses 16-bit graphics and offers 
{| one or two players a choice of eight games, 
i selected from a catalogue of Sega titles as 
| long as your arm. 
These include some classics such as 
Shinobi, Tetris, Super Hang On and 
After-Burner which have already proved 
hits in arcades in previous years. All 
W great games in their own right and 
extending their popularity in Megatech 
format. 
On the more standard video game 
front. there are a 
recommendations to look out for. Ataxx 
from Leland has made an appearance 
from the USA although not in great 
numbers. For one or two players, Ataxx is 
a strategy game that will put a strain on 
your brain. The object is to move your 


34 GAMES-X 22ND-28TH AUGUST 1991 


couple of 


globs 
into a position 
where you can capture your 
opponents globs. 

Bear in mind however, that while you are looking to 
outwit them, your opponent is doing exactly the same to 
you, so watch your back! The one with the most globs at 
the end of the stage is the winner. Ataxx also has 
several levels of gameplay, so if you conquer one there 
is an even tougher stage around the corner. A 
compulsive test that is worth hunting out if you fancy 
your chances as a strategist. 

Sagaia from Taito, on the other hand, is a mind- 
blowing conundrum of colour and sound effects in an 
exciting, scrolling, inter-galactic war game for fans of the 
shoot'em-up style of video. After successfully bombing a 
huge battleship, players receive the option of their next 
course. Your fate hangs on your selection! 

Different zones hold different enemies, each with 
their own powers. Starting at the Sun Zone the player 
confronts the Lion Fish and attack should centre on its 
known weak point, the inside of its mouth. From there 
the player battles against the Angler and Balloon fish, 
the Moray Eel and the Angel Fish amongst others. 

The final stage is the Jupiter Zone which holds 
three different enemies. Are you good enough to 
progress this far?

The Crypt is the previously

Basically the gameplay and graphics 
are very similar, but, the puzzles are a 
little more difficult to solve. It took me

My [Olly] favourite games in the 
arcade are Pitfighter and Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. I’ve spent a lot of 
money on them. The rides are OK here, but they’re not as fast as | 
expected. The Depth Charge looks really good — but the others are just not 
scary enough for me, although Loggers Leap was quite frightening. 


WHERE AND WHAT 


IS THORPE PARK? 


Thorpe Park is situated near the M25, 
in between junction 11 and 13 and 


has many attractions as well as fast 
rides. There’s a recording studio 
which works like a karaoke sing- 


along, but in the end you receive a 
cassette with your singing and 
backing track on it. 


In fact, Thorpe Park has got so 


many facilities that we couldn’t fit them all on this page. The best 
_thing to do is pop down and take a look for yourself.

G eoman the Warrior is a combination

typical cute Japanese model, 
colourful and fairly impressive. 

At first, the action is viewed from the 
front and slightly above your character. 
You must roam the land and explore the 
different shops scattered around. 

However, as each shopkeeper replies 
in Japanese, buying equipment 
successfully is down to luck or brilliant 
translation skills! Not only can you 
purchase new weaponry, but you can 
collect items such as yo-yos which, 
although they don’t sound too 
dangerous, are fatal on contact. 

Having scoured the area for anything 
of importance, the action soon turns toa 
horizontally scrolling run-and-jump 
action game a la Ghouls ’n’ Ghosts. 

Geoman the Warrior includes some 
excellent features, the superb sub-game 
Nemisis among others. 

Although an excellent game, the 
main drawback is that the text is in

While being a very average game, 
Yancha Maru has an addictive quality 
which kept me coming back for more. 

The fact that it only takes a single 
hit to send you back to the beginning of 
the level is rather annoying, but at the 
same time makes the game more of a 
challenge. Not an outstanding release 
but okay all the same. 


To obtain extra lives, pause the game and then

GAME: VAPOR TRAIL 
MACHINE: MEGA DRIVE 
PRICE: £34.00 
SUPPLIERS: CONSOLE 

CONCEPTS 


[E irst appearing in the arcades many 
months ago, Vapor Trail was a 
competent shoot’em-up that, by arcade 


standards, offered nothing new _ or 
exciting. No hydraulic chairs, no 
vibrating Uzi, just a plain old blast. 

The Mega Drive conversion is 


superb. Not dissimilar to the coin-op 
original, it manages to provides a simple 
but addictive blast. 

The game features bundles of power- 
ups that range from the pathetically 
weak to the ridiculous. 

You have a choice of three aircraft. 
Each one boasts a different array of 
weaponry and varying speeds. You 
control movement over the plane by 
using the pad, while button A or B 
activates the main gun. Button C 


a hs 2 


monochrome screens across the country. 


The game, Rockman World, is an 
excellent platform romp. Graphically 
perfect and extremely playable, it 


presents an extremely tough challenge. 

Numerous missions put you, as 
Megaman, up against any of the 
dastardly super villains, lurking deep 
within their lairs. 

On top of this, you will have to 
confront a horde of strange creatures, 
solve brain teasing puzzles, and make 
quantum leaps before the end guardian 
can be affronted. 

Only then will you face the ultimate 
challenge - a ferocious battle with either 
Fireman, Iceman, Elecman or Cutman. 
What will face Megaman after this is 
entirely up to you to find out! 

The joypad 
Megaman’s'7 directional movements. 
Button B makes the hero fire his plasma 
weapon and A makes him jump. 

There are ladders to climb, chasms to 
cross and spikes to avoid. Whirring fans 
try to impede the flow of movement in 
one direction and conveyors belts can 
pull Megaman to his death in another. 
Snow underfoot will see him flying off 
huge cliffs! 

Without a doubt, Rockman World

operates the shield, but if the smart 
bombs have been collected they will be 
automatically detonated. 

There are countless missions to 
undertake, each including more military 
hardware than an Arnold

more often than not in the middle of 
‘each stage, is a somewhat large nasty 
and a great deal of skill and weapon 
concentration is required before it 
finally explodes and you are free to 
continue on your violent way. 

Graphically, the game has its ups 
and downs. While some levels are dull 
and unimpressive, others’ feature 
smooth parallax and are both detailed 
and colourful. Overall, a bog standard 
shoot’em-up, but playable all the same.

games available on each, fumble your 
pockets to see how much you can afford, 
and make your own decision. 

Oh, by the way my cousin tells me 
he got a Lynx 2 from Argos. So if you 
find the Lynx is too big, but you quite 
fancy getting one, you now know where 
to buy the smaller, newer version. 

Brian's ugliness is a bit of a

deep in the mists of time. However, just

Saying a company is thinking of doing 
something is like saying an ice cream

Certainly for the current Lynx it is 
extremely unlikely since it has no 
expansion port. The new one doesn’t 
either although technically the machine is 
certainly capable — with some tweaking. 

Atari won't say anything officially,
